Chapter 81: Why
"Are you pretending to be asleep?"
Yawei looked at the small group above, although he didn't make a sound, but he had taken care of Seleuc for so long, and he knew very well that the girl had woken up.
Recognized through, Seleuc sat up slowly, she slept well, she seemed much more energetic.
"It reminds me of when you first got home. ”
Yawei said with some nostalgia.
Seleuc, who had returned from Gaulinalo, was full of distrust of the world, and for her at that time, she did not even know what the Stuart family was, and she did not even have such a concept, and hid in various corners of the mansion like a wild cat, and could not even sleep.
It took a long time for the situation to get better, as if the girl had regained her trust in the world, or that she had learned to disguise herself.
"That's what Lorenzo taught me to do, if I wake up and feel wrong, I pretend to be asleep and look at the environment. ”
The girl said.
Lorenzo was perhaps the biggest influence in her life, the second-rate detective who instilled in Seleucus a lot of strange knowledge that still works in her actions today.
He said that this is what he learned from countless beatings, just like being caught by the enemy, locking you up, as long as you wake up, it will be a period of torture, in that case, it is better to close your eyes and keep pretending to be dead, and you can avoid the pain of skin. ”
It sounds like it's full of unscored.
"It's a bit of a surprise, it doesn't look like what the guy said. ”
Yawei watched Seleneng refresh, and he was much happier.
In Yawei's impression, Lorenzo has nothing to do with neuroticism, and in his opinion, Lorenzo is a very dangerous guy, and all this is just a disguise.
Indeed, Lorenzo was essentially a witcher, and that was only what he had learned at the Royal Academy of Art, and he said that it was this more cheerful exterior that could blend in with the crowd than a cold face. ”
Seleuc recalls and judges Lorenzo, his nasty and flawed character.
"So where am I now?"
Looking up at the room, there was no frills, just cold steel and pipes, as if it were inside some huge machine, and someone had built it between the gaps in the machinery.
"I don't know, they blindfolded me on the way here, and it looks like they're not very willing to let people know about it. ”
Yawei replied.
"I'm also a shareholder, why don't I have any power?"
Seleucus said and smiled, but her watch was still so cold, in fact, she knew very well that she was not a shareholder, it was just a step that the purification agency felt that it was more difficult to deal with.
It was a purely violent organ, they were only accountable to the Queen in the Platinum Palace, and no one could command them except the orders from there.
Efficient, decisive, cold, abandoning all cowardice and hesitation, abandoning all the inferiority of human beings, and thus building a barrier of hope in the flood of demons.
With a long sigh, this time Seleuc became the center of the vortex, although she didn't quite understand why, thinking of this, she recalled the last fragment of her memory, the fierce witcher.
"What about Lorenzo? Why isn't he here?"
"Drop us off here and he left. ”
The old butler said.
"You seem to like him very much, and even if it's like this, aren't you angry?"
Forcibly using tranquilizers, in exchange for anyone, will be a little angry, let alone Seleuc, she is the future duchess, everything Lorenzo does can be seen as a provocation to the family.
"Of course. ”
She walked down, she felt fine, she could run and jump, and there was no big problem.
"Of course I'm not going to be angry...... I trust him a lot. ”
Seleuc said.
"Actually, Yawei, I know what you mean, I am the son of Stuart, the future duchess, I have power and wealth, everything that no one else can get in a lifetime...... I'm supposed to be proud and fearless, shouldn't I?"
Yawei looked at her in silence and did not speak.
"You think it's very puzzled, obviously the family is so good to me, why do I still like to run around with that neurotic. ”
"I know all of that...... It's just, it's just that I never felt like I really had that, Yahweh. ”
Seleuce sat back down, looking at the closed iron door, which looked locked and had to wait for someone to open it from the outside.
"I'm a beggar, just because I'm lucky to have Stuart's blood, it's not me who is honored, it's just the blood that flows in my body. ”
"So, even until now, do you still think you're a beggar?"
Yawei got up slowly, and sat down beside Seleuc, his old face was a little sad, he seemed to want to say something, and asked with some hesitation, as if there was some secret to get out uncontrollably.
But Seleuc did not answer this, but continued.
"My most memorable time was the escape journey that began in Gaulinaro, which was probably my happiest son. ”
"Is it because Lorenzo got you out of there?"
Yawei looked at her with some confusion.
It was an ignorant age, and all the feelings were the purest and most intense.
Ordinary girls were dancing in their favorite dresses, but it was such a helpless environment at that time, and perhaps it was at that time that Seleu became attached to Lorenzo.
"No, it's not. ”
Curiously, Seleuc rejects this conclusion.
"It's that moment. ”
She stressed.
"It was cold, and those guys weren't friendly, they didn't have any relatives, just me, a helpless beggar...... That was probably my most desperate moment. ”
The forced recollection of the past, in the shabby cold alleys, a branching world where Lorenzo did not exist.
"It's just that moment, not to mention Lorenzo, even if a wild dog takes me out, I'll always love it, it's just that moment, and then he just happened. ”
A neurotic carried Winchester and kicked open the dark door, and a light spilled down.
"Hmm...... Although he just wanted to get that good pay. ”
Seleuc said helplessly, that neurotic deceived himself all the way, risked his life to bring himself back, and the result was for that honorarium...... But it's still worth remembering.
"For all that talk, I still don't like that damn guy. ”
Yawei said lightly.
Seleucus laughed at this.
"You don't have to push yourself, you don't have to like everyone, you don't have to be liked by everyone...... Just one or two is enough. ”
Although humans are social animals, there are not many connections between people, and sometimes you will find that although you can see many people every day, there are only a few people who can really get along with you all the time.
"That'...... Does he really deserve your trust?"
Yawei asked, he seemed to understand the girl a little.
The girl's smile froze, she hesitated, and then shook her head.
"Lorenzo Holmes is a very peculiar person, in fact, he is a real autistic person, the meaning of his existence...... It's too fragile. ”
"Everyone has a meaning of existence, in order for me to continue the Stuart family and inherit that noble glory, you need to assist me and complete your own mission, but Lorenzo is different, in fact, the meaning of his existence is only to eradicate demons, but can he really do it?"
"It's like an untouchable dream. ”
Seleucus examined the hidden soul, bathed in sunlight, transparent and clear.
"If you look closely at his room, you will see this, Lorenzo's room has no sense of 'life', for him it is just a place to sleep, if he needs to, he can just leave with a shotgun and never come back. ”
"Except for that ultimate goal, there is nothing worth caring about him, not even me. ”
As he spoke, Seleuc looked at Yawei on the side, the old butler had served the Stuart family all his life, and witnessed them from glory to end, from flourishing to almost extinction.
The old face was engraved with the years, perhaps because he had witnessed too much, and his soft face was hardened, without too much expression.
"I'm so sorry. ”
Seleu said suddenly, and then hugged the old butler, now looking at Yawei's body is still quite strong, Seleu actually can't hug him.
"What's wrong?"
Yawei didn't understand that Seleu wasn't usually as sentimental as he was now.
"I'm just sorry that you spent so much money to hire Lorenzo just to keep Stuart going? ”
"You feel like you were told before you died, you know?"
"Probably, I just think that there are a lot of words, and if you don't say it, you won't have a chance. ”
Seleuc hugged Yahweh and looked over his shoulder at the cold wall.
From Ahweh's point of view, it was just him and Seleucus in the room, and the rumbling mechanical sound that came from there.
But in Seleu's ears, the faint barking of dogs echoed dàng), refusing to let that peace come.
It was a voice that only she could hear.
The beacon had been planted, and the constant reverberating pressure eroded Seleuc's will, waiting only for her most exhausting moment to enter the void.
She was just an ordinary person, but at the moment she was watched by the invisible thing, which was everywhere, chasing Seleuc.
Seleucus didn't want Yavidor to worry about anything, he was just an old housekeeper, and he might not have done anything in the face of demons, but he suffered cardiac arrest due to the fear of erosion, and sure enough, he was very helpless when he got old.
Releasing Yawei, Seleuc barely smiled, and she said.
"But you have to hope for that witcher, right, I think he's amazing. ”
She said this, and then the door was opened, and for a moment the faint barking of dogs disappeared, as if something was coming, and they retreated in fear.
Lorenzo stood in the doorway, and behind him stood Arthur, as if a decision had been made between them.
The atmosphere was somewhat oppressive, as if a storm was coming.
